Gospel Workshop with EAGA Gospel Choir
The Emmanu’-EL Apostolic Gospel Academy Choir embodies everything you can imagine when you think of Gospel Singing:
WORSHIP, PRAISE, HAPPINESS and, above all, an intense, FOOT-TAPPING ENERGY!
Named BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year in 2023 and reaching the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent, who better to learn from? Come and sing with the best!
Gospel Workshops for EVERYONE!
Anyone from aged 8 and up can take part... Everyone can praise the Lord with energy and emotion!
We’ll be running two workshops, one for kids and one for teens and adults. Each group will benefit from an afternoon of age-appropriate, expert guidance and tuition from members of the EAGA Gospel Choir.
Let’s be honest, we’ve all wanted to have a go! It looks like such a great experience!

In their own words We are the Emmanu’-EL Apostolic Gospel Academy affectionately known as the EAGA Gospel Choir (pronounced ‘Eager’) established in 2003, a versatile group that performs under the patronage of the Emmanu’-EL Apostolic Church based in Leicester. “It is our deepest pride and mission to uplift the spirits of the communities that surround us.” This is at the very centre of our hearts in everything we do and has led to an official recognition of our service to the community by The Lord Mayor of Leicester in 2015. The choir has acclaimed national awards in being crowned the winners of the BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year 2023. Additionally, we have been honoured to sing on diverse platforms, including being the first Gospel Choir to sing for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in Leicester on the occasion of her Jubilee! “We have also performed alongside legendary Leicester band Kasabian on their 2016 tour and were backing singers for two songs on the band’s album, For Crying Out Loud.” See you soon! |
What to Expect
Three hours of Gospel singing workshops expertly lead by members of the famous EAGA Gospel Choir!
You’ll be taught a song of praise or two and delve into what makes Gospel music so unique and enjoyable. You might even be taught some groovy moves!
All culminating in joining them on stage during their evening concert in front of a packed audience at St. Peter’s Church.
